'We published our first Modern Slavery statement in October 2016.We welcomed the legislation because we recognise our responsibility towards people working in our own business and in our supply chain. Our Create Responsibly Strategy continues to be one of the five pillars of our brand vision.'

-The publication of a Modern Slavery Statement following the UK Modern Slavery Act 2005 indicates that there most likely was a change in their policy however I am unsure asa to what their policy was prior to the Act.

Pg 1, Modern Slavery Statement.

" This year, we have taken steps to educate key stakeholders about the risks of slavery, in partnership with NGOs and other brands that are members of Ethical Trading Initiative. Our policies are continually reviewed to make sure that they are relevant. We have taken steps towards checking the conditions of workers further down the supply chain, using a risk based approach to assess where our priorities need to be. After mapping the factories in the second and third tiers of our clothing suppliers, we undertook a pilot audit programme in India in February2017 for our second tier suppliers. We have also developed more in depth training for our Turkish suppliers."
